On Linux, OpenVPN does not modify the DNS servers itself (unlike Windows).
There's two ways to make it happen
- use Network Manager to run OpenVPN - it will parse the server reply,
and set up DNS accordingly
- add an "up $script" to your client config to do the DNS setup -
we ship a sample script ("pull-resolv-conf") to do that, but I'm
not sure if Fedora integrates that, or uses something else - ask
rpm what is in the openvpn package.
